An unexpected day off from work and household responsibility
Has fallen into your lap, you are filled with ecstasy
At the prospect of being able to indulge in self-care
To work on projects for which time you’ve been unable to spare
*
You are up early, totally energized
You are excited and want to get galvanized
Into activity as soon as possible, but a decision you make
To enjoy your morning coffee to help you feel awake
You scroll through social media, the news you skim through
There is plenty of time for everything you want to do
This is a day of freedom, so you go out for a stroll
You return invigorated down to your soul
You are ready to start one of the projects you had in mind
You head to the storage area so the necessary supplies you can find..
*
You discover a lot of junk, but what you need you don’t see
You realize cleaning and sorting are needed urgently
The next few hours go by in cleaning things out
You are exhausted and famished at the end, you cannot do without
A break to stretch your limbs, relax and eat
Once your energy stores are replete
You try to go back to the project you had in mind
But the afternoon heat is soporific and you are inclined
To take a nap, after all it is a day that is free
You resolve once you wake up you would work diligently
*
Unfortunately distractions follow and you never get
A chance to start even a single project..
*
This is the story of all my days that are free
My lofty plans turn to dust ultimately
I overstretch myself on working days and then
On a “rest day” myself I want to overextend
Maybe I should make no plans for a free day y
And just rest and recharge in every way
Passion...unbridled
